Class Description

Class Overview

With tight pressure to cut costs and yet implement technology quickly, IT project managers are under severe pressure to complete projects on time, on budget, and at the promised quality. Yet industry figures consistently show that 90 percent of major IT project initiatives fail to be completed both on time and on budget. This course delves into the unique challenges of managing IT projects, and offers a roadmap to success.

Class Goals

  • Learn to perform discovery and analysis to determine the true nature of the problem or opportunity, ascertain its relevance and feasibility, and identify associated risks.
  • Learn to establish the high-level timetable and budget for the project.
  • Learn to create the project planning documents, including Scope Statement, Project Charter, and Statement of Work.
  • Learn to create the documents that lay the foundation for the project.
  • Learn to conduct the management planning activities that result in the development of the project plan, used to control the execution process of the project.
  • Learn to determine the ideal team composition, recruit, negotiate for, and assign team members.
  • Learn to define a strategy for monitoring the project iteratively, calculate schedule and budget variances, manage the critical path, team, and vendor relationships, and monitor quality metrics.
  • Learn to identify variances and outline corrective action, negotiate changes, and identify the proper course of action to avoid scope creep.
  • Learn to execute the project transfer steps, including documentation, transfer process, sign-off, final project report, and a project team lessons-learned debriefing.
